Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

CanadaThere is no lift in the building and the flat is located on the top floor (hence the wonderful views!) so you'll have to climb up the stairs (potentially with your luggage).
The room offers breathtaking views on the seemingly endless sea. It was pristine and the bedding was extremely comfortable. The appartement is own by Martina who lives there (bonus!) which gives a lovely home feeling. She is a wonderful host who cooks a delicious fresh breakfast every morning that you get to enjoy on her massive terrace overlooking the sea. She can also offer valuable advice on what to see and where to eat in Taormina and around. We would definitely love to stay there again. We can only recommend it!

CanadaWe loved everything!!! Martina is an amazing woman. She gives her heart and soul to this fabulous B&B. Location is perfect! Just outside the busy centre, perched on top of a hill overlooking the sea and Taormina. Wow!!!! What a setting for breakfast!!! Let's talk about Martina's breakfast. OMG!! I was in heaven. First, breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, and she did not disappoint. Fresh, FRESH and delicious.... eggs (cooked perfectly) tomatoes/basil/ cheese, fruit, ham, homemade jams, fresh bread....I can go on, and I will. She made this fresh cake every morning!!!! Her own recipe. Exactly how I love it and she made it with heart. ❤ I was so happy and I think I told her many times. What a start to the day! Parking was simple and easy. Martina will provide you with any information you need. Rooms are spotless, and I mean spotless!!! Those rooms are thoroughly cleaned after each guest leaves. Beds and linens are super comfortable. This wonderful B&B gets perfect marks! Thank you Martina for a wonderful stay. We hope to come back one day....🙏🙏

United StatesThe B+B is the top floor of a 4 story building so be prepared to walk up some steps. But if you're in Taormina, what else would you expect?
The owner was very inviting. We were made to feel right at home. The view from the terrace where the very attentive hostess served us a beautiful breakfast was fabulous. 10 minute walk to center of Taormina. Hostess recommended great restaurant in town. Our room had its own private small balcony with Cafe table and 2 chairs.

United KingdomWe were fine, but it is up 4 flights of stairs and uphill into town, so not good if of limited mobility.
Martina could not be more kind and helpful. The breakfasts are spectacular, fresh local produce and changes each day. Amazing sea view from our balcony, and her balcony. Easy free car parking at hand (needed in Taormina). Walk into town about 20 minutes, but uphill. Martina fluent in Italian and German and nearly so in English. Would definitely go again.

Our recent stay in Taormina was pure magic, thanks to the breathtaking accommodation and the wonderful host, Martina. The views were stunning, rooms beautifully designed, and the private terrace was a dream. Martina's warmth and local insights made the experience truly special. Her dedication to ensuring a memorable stay was unmatched. If you're seeking an unforgettable getaway with a touch of Sicilian hospitality, this is the place to be. Can't wait to return! For Martina, greetings from Giovanni Ilazi.

LithuaniaAmazing accommodation in Taormina, the owner Martina is very communicative and helpful, the rooms are very cozy, every detail has its place. We arrived in the evening and were very kindly welcomed. Upon request owner Martina recommended a very good restaurant for dinner and even arranged a reservation. The breakfast was super with a wonderful view from the terrace and Martina's especially nice smile and short warm conversations about vacation plans. We received several recommendations that helped a lot in planning vacation days, really only the best recommendations.

United StatesIt would be nice if there were a washer that we could use (since we ran out of clean clothes after many days of travelling), but a washer is not really a standard equipment for B&B's so it's fine. A more serious concern is driving a car around. Driving in Tormina could be really tricky, thanks to the windy roads, and the ZTLs (limited-traffic zones). This has nothing to do with Martina's property at all, but rather, a complaint about driving in Italy in general. I'm crossing my fingers that I won't receive fines from the local government!
Location was great - a mere 5-min walk to Tormina city center, yet far enough to be away from the noise. View was gorgeous! 180 deg view of the shore line from the balcony & can view sunset directly there in the morning (and go back to bed for more sleep :-) ) Every morning Martina the host made us very lovely and delicious breakfast. We had juice, freshly baked croissants with a variety of jams, local fresh fruits, cheese with tomato, and eggs cooked according to our preferences. Plus the fresh espresso/cappuccino/tea of our choice! The rooms were air-conditioned, which was really helpful since the temperature was >40 deg C during our stay. Martina also kindly recommended the castle on the mountain top to us. The view turned out to be superb, and we all loved it. We drove cars and Martina allowed us to park in a lot that is down the slope of the house, which was convenient. The neighborhood is lovely, quiet, and safe! We accidently left a door of our car open overnight, but did not lose anything. From the house to the lovely Isola Bella beach was a 30 min walk down the hill. A cable car is nearby for coming back up (~5 min, 3 Euros each way. Very convenient).

Breakfast was always incredible, just like the view from the breakfast terrace, and the location perfect for evening strolls into the town. The closest beach was easily accessible by cable car, and there were shuttle buses available both to AND from excellent bars and restaurants further along the coast. Martina’s priority is the happiness and comfort of her guests, and is always on hand to recommend excellent bars and restaurants. We took Martina’s advice on several occasions and were never disappointed with any of her suggestions.
